Woke up this morning to a text message from Joseph.
Earlier at around 2:15am, Ethan Choo was born into this world.
It felt like a crime, walking into that ward without a camera. Taking that photo with my phone deserves an even heavier punishment. But holding him close while he was asleep was rewarding enough. I didn't dare at first. The whole "support the baby's head" deal was too complicated for post-teen depressed me (joke). But they insisted that I did and so joe took him out of his crib and handed the little boy to me.
New life. In my arms.
It's an amazing day.
The world is beautiful yet again.
